To Criticize

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes."
~Jack Handay

Events

"I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomarrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."~Groucho Marx

Life and Death

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."~J.R.R. Tolkien

All the Fools of the World

"You can't argue all the fools in the world. It's easier to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention." -Brom Eragon

What is Needed

Winter Poem

A silent winter night of cotton ice. These are the nights I feel the most, and yet words fail me. Time and again my heart screams to release her thoughts from behind barred doors; doors sealed by fear and self-ridicule. But on nights such as this the battering ram swings and shatters the gate. My heart is free for a time... what shall she divulge unto the listening sky? Words of love? Of hope or dreams? Nay. No tongue can fully express; no language can translate the thoughts of the heart. Is there none who can understand?? Aye, there is One. A solitary One who can see her heart and knows it intimately. He is Christ.

Wisdom or Folly

It is wisdom to recognize necessity when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope.
-J.R.R. Tolkien

My Fortified Cabinets...

Half Empty or Half Full?

An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist half-empty, and the engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be.

Christian Battleground

"The love life of a Christian is a crucial battleground. There, if nowhere else, it will be determined as to who is Lord - the world - the self - the devil - or the Lord Jesus Christ."
~Elizabeth Elliot

To Love

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."
~ C.S. Lewis

Poor Wet Shotgun

Wisdom

"The wise speak only of what they know."~J.R.R. Tolkien
